Job overview

We are seeking three dynamic, experienced Clinical Leads to provide expert leadership in developing our new adult community mental health intensive outreach team. Positions are available in West, Mid, and East Cornwall, where you'll work collaboratively to ensure high-quality care for service users.

You will help shape an innovative, community-based service for individuals with complex psychosis who face barriers accessing traditional care. This is a unique opportunity to contribute directly to a new model of intensive outreach, targeting people with multiple, often unmet needs.

Your role will include applying advanced clinical expertise to assess, formulate, and guide care planning for individuals with complex presentations. You will support clinical teams in enhancing patient care pathways, especially where additional assessment is essential.
